Somewhere in Genesis, it says that God made Man in his own image. I have always wondered what that means. How are we the same as God? It can’t be that He has two eyes or two legs, because lots of other animals have all of that. The one defining thing that sets Man and humans apart is our ability to improve our existence. The life of an elephant is essentially the same as it was 100 years ago, but a human’s life is considerably more advanced.<\/p>\n

This is a long introduction for a song that I wrote in the 80’s about Heaven’s Bank. We spend so much time making money that we don’t spend enough time thinking about how we can give back to future generations. That’s why we should be investing in Heaven’s Bank.<\/p>\n\n
